Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Guy Opperman and Mary Glindon

Thursday 25th April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Guy Opperman]

Lady and her particular constituents to ensure that it is addressed, but I should make the point that this April we brought in the £1,000 increase to the UC work allowance, which should make a difference in the interim, before such a conversation takes place.

[Mary Glindon (North Tyneside) (Lab)]
